Commentaire personnel

Not being 21, fraternity parties and apartment parties were my best options for night activity. Since turning 21, you can't beat the Cafe on Friday afternoons for 1/2 price Long Island Iced Teas! The G-Man is also pretty good, and it also has a small dance floor. Players is an OK dance club. The Deli has great food - especially dessert!

Commentaire personnel

The rooms were bigger than I was expecting and provided a fridge, microwave and cable access. The bathrooms were kept pretty clean. The dining commons and computer rooms were close by and provided great services. I also had a fantastic roommate which made my stay at the dorms more enjoyable.

Accommodation in America is generally more expensive than in Australia. I spent less on telephone calls as all local calls were free from the dorms. I spent more on travel because I was in the States to travel.

I didn't have many language problems since both Australia and America speak English. I had a few communication problems having a different accent and using different slang, but overall there was nothing terrible.

Recommandation personnelle

I loved my stay at PSU. There were many activities planned by the University and plenty of non-University events also going on. State College is a really fun town and the University offers a wide variety of interesting courses. If you want to be near a big city, PSU wouldn't be the place to go, since it's nestled in a small rural community. The closest big city (Philadpelphia) is about a 3 hour drive. I really enjoyed the University-town life though.

I would recommend PSU as a great university to go to as part of a study abroad program. It's great to go there for football season - the town goes crazy around this time and for Thon. Philadelphia, Washington DC and NYC aren't too far away for weekend trips. PSU is a really pretty campus, especially in fall.
